PG&E Fall Canal Outage

October 15 – November 19, 2026

Every fall, PG&E shuts down its canals for maintenance and inspection. Because PCWA receives much of its canal water through PG&E's system, many PCWA canal customers will see reduced or interrupted deliveries during this time. PCWA spreads the remaining water supply across its canals to lessen the impact on customers.

Find your canal below to see how it will be affected. Each canal falls into one of three groups:

Off every other day
Please conserve water
Low to no flow at times

We recommend keeping an adequate supply in storage (pond or tank) during the outage. Questions? Call PCWA Customer Services at (530) 823-4850 or email customerservices@pcwa.net.
